A short, stump-shaped carrot which gives heavy yields, the roots having golden-orange flesh with a sweet taste and retaining their flavour even when large. These carrots, which rarely split, are the ones to choose if your soil is heavy.

Sowing advice: Can be sown under cloches from March onwards and outside from April to July for later cropping. Sow in narrow drills 2cm deep and 12cm apart. Sow the seed thinly to avoid too much thinning out later. Cover the seeds with fine soil very gently tamping it down later. Water with a fine spray if the conditions are dry. The seedlings should start to appear 15 to 20 days later.
